Them pietschmann but that may be the only remedy by failing to act congress is complicit in trumps latest attempt to solicit foreign interference to aid him in the us elections do your constitutional duty and impeach the president. Youre watching our 2 International Coming to life from the russian capital where its just turned 6 pm welcome to the program. The World Antidoping Agency has relaunched compliance procedures against the russian Antidoping Agency rosado amid claims moscow provided manipulated data the probe could cost russia its participation in next years olympics moscow has already reacted to the allegations. Rosado is in full compliance with the code this is confirmed by the fog that we have been asked to audits in 2 years i was responsible for them i can guarantee this was absolute certainty is committed to meeting all its International Obligations however we have nothing to do is the most school board tree or the samples well with the l. M. Picks already upon us next summer the World Antidoping Agency is actually investigating a bombshell allegation that could see russia suspended from tokyo games next year now let me give you some details on whats happening now russia has been given a 3 week deadline to explain why data from moscow Drug Testing Laboratory provided to the World Antidoping Agency might have been tampered with and eve these suspicions of trant tampering prove correct then the country could again be suspended and that is happening just a year after russia was reinstated actually handing over that particular day there from villa bora tree was among the critical requirements for the reinstatement and of course there has been some high level reaction from moscow on to the news and heres what the sports minister had to say we met all the conditions for the restoration of sun under which were established by the World Executive Committee we were told that database transfers to water by the informant was slightly different from the one the water experts had taken a copy of in moscow in 2019 what exactly these discrepancies are and what they are connected with would be established by experts from both sides for our parts we continue to provide all possible the systems but let me remind you that russias Anti Doping Agency was actually suspended back in 2015 and after 3 years it was reinstated as ive mentioned before all of that happened after claims that there was a widespread state run doping scheme in the country actually there was a. A number of some really strong accusations that we heard at the time however not everything was actually proved with some harsh avid and as for moscow well moscow denied it was state sponsored but still there was enough evidence to ban scores of russian athletes they were allowed to participate only to a limited extent and at the Winter Olympics in south korea and the neutral flag and now this is just the basically the latest twist in this ongoing story. Iran is the new victim of downing street highly likely scenario also used in the script case u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson said there is a very high degree of probability that tehran was behind the recent attacks on Saudi Oil Facilities and even promised to help the u. S. Secure the gulf region. The u. K. Is attributing responsibility with a very high degree of probability to iran for the aramco attacks we think its very likely indeed that iran was indeed responsible clearly if we are asked either by the saudis all by the americans to have a role then we will consider in what way we could be useful the british Prime Minister johnson seemingly getting on board with the accusations made by the us and also by the saudis and the iranians if they werent responsible for that attack particularly the saudis saying that the components that they found were rainy and made in terms of who took part in that attack on the Saudi Oil Facilities and Boris Johnson there say that it was very likely to have been iran pointing to what he said were cruise missiles and drones and other technology that could have possibly been used in the attack now he said that the u. K. Wants to deescalate the situation but would also be willing to commit u. K. Military resources and personnel to a possible u. S. Led action in the region a military action in the region now its unclear exactly how far the u. K. Would be willing to go in any u. S. Led adventures in the region but we know that the iranians have stated and denied repeatedly that they were involved at any point but have also been warning the west that if there is any aggression against iran theyre more than capable of meeting it head on one of. The foreign powers are sincere in seeking peace and security it must stop deploying dangerous weapons to a region and proven arms troops they should stay away because their presence has always brought pain and misery now we know of course that the u. S. Very quick to blame iran saying that they would be deploying more troops to the region but one issue that might help to deescalate the situation the socalled tanker was we saw the iranian tanker. Seized off the coast of travolta by the u. K. s royal navy the iranians responded in kind by confiscating the u. K. Flag tanker the iranian one was released and now the iranians to say that as a gesture of good will and today deescalate in the situation that they are willing to release that u. K. Flag tanker that the century it is free to go so there are some who fear that while the iranians are trying to tamp down those tensions there are some in riyadh in washington and here in london who are doing the exact opposite the saudis themselves are be telling them theyre going to just all of we dont want to exclude. The situation now on google earth and all out war again this is wrong because were on the front line lets just keep the pressure on big canonically and of course still have the chance of the. Media. And leaders we know its going to be the president when he goes to new york for the United Nations decision on climate so its a question of years for the honest ones will showing support saudi arabia and community but not 100 percent. But the fate of the u. S. Iran relations hanging in the balance are to stand on Harkins Oakland how the standoff could play out. Iran and the United States go way back a relationship at sea a coup terrorism sanctions even direct confrontation for over half a century its hard to find enemies more bitter could we see all out war the question today on the minds of many listening to recent rhetoric youd certainly think that possibility is growing that if any country wants to attack iran it will seize territory turn into the conflicts main battlefields will never let any war be dragged into iran we will continue until the end we will continue until the full destruction of any aggressor and we will leave no safe place for enemies and that was a very large attack. And it could be met with an attack many many times larger very easily by our country the saudis have called for u. S. Help after those attacks on its old refineries it seems all those billions spent on u. S. Military gadgets werent enough to keep them safe back in may the u. S. Sent an Aircraft Carrier strike group to the gulf to this latest incident the u. S. Was quick to announce another military deployment the president has approved the deployment of u. S. Forces which will be defensive in nature and primarily focused on air and Missile Defense we will also work to accelerate the delivery of military equipment to the kingdom of saudi arabia and the u. A. E. To enhance their ability to defend themselves many see some historical deja vu in this latest move dating back 3 decades at my direction elements of the 82nd Airborne Division as well as key units of the United States air force are arriving today to take up defensive positions in saudi arabia i took this action to assist the Saudi Arabian government in the defense of its homeland operation Desert Shield back then protecting these 3 brilliancy of the region and the worlds oil markets and supply lines was one key for. Active behind the intervention but much has changed in 3 decades the us is now the Worlds Biggest Oil producer protecting gulf oil exports just isnt the priority anymore neither is being in the middle of a war between riyadh and tehran the United States is pursuing its own interests and that is to control the floyds flow of oil to the world and that means providing oil to its friends and denying oil to its enemies weve seen the United States embargo oil to play countries like syria the sale of oil from iran sudan libya many other places this is about the United States control over the most important commodity in the world that keeps industry going keeps country standing on their feet and domestic appetite for sending the boys to a place of sand and death is weak according to a recent poll just 13 percent would support a military intervention to protect the saudis adding a 2nd or 3rd party into that kind of tense scenario doesnt necessarily deescalate things if anything it escalates things even further that we get into another war like afghanistan or iraq and get stuck over there for another 1015 years we think iraq was bad iran to be 100000 times worse and we would absolutely destroy there i just think we should be less involved in other World Affairs no desire for conflict with iran this seems to be a war that neither side wants or at least says they want yet still seem to be on a collision course we have made it very clear that we dont want war we have made it very clear that we dont want escalation making a statement that we dont want war we dont want to engage in a military confrontation america 1st has been trumps mantra since before his Election Campaign ending costly conflicts no more world policeman with analysts warning of the devastating costs of a war with iran the u. S. Stands at a crossroads just how high a price on. Willing to pay to meet their objectives the u. S. As we know is now the worlds Number One Oil producer fracking has changed the nature of Oil Production particularly us and there is an overhang in the oil market so Many Americans are saying why are we interested in the gulf we dont need saudi oil but you know its a lesson the fact of the matter is a boil is not just a product it is leverage over the International Community is geostrategic lee important ever since world war 2 the United States has wanted to control energy in the world so the United States is very loath to leave the gulf even though it doesnt actually need the oil itself. A filmmaker is being sued by participants and a documentary over his claims about korean sex slaves and world war 2 they were not sex slaves they were prostitutes. So it was screaming or option to deceive korean women to stations. At least one of the experts quoted in the film denies that the women were forced into slavery however the filmmaker make a desire things there are other motives for their lost it. Its not really top officials who are launching the lawsuits more of these kind of people in my shill interview that are doing the lawsuit in i guess what lies behind it is really them trying to silence the film you know change the narrative of the come for women issue to their narrative come from an issue has always been a very contentious issue between korea and japan and some people actually think its the most contentious issue between the 2 countries and through my own research i realize that you know my korean friends and japanese friends didnt know certain information i thought if i made a film i could possibly fill in this gap information and bring more context in hopefully both sides would you know be able to talk about this more productively after the film the comfort women issue is very taboo in japan and surprisingly a lot of people like the film i notice a lot of people who dont like the film are people who havent seen the film. The phrase comfort women is a euphemism for girls forced into sex slavery by japanese soldiers in occupied territories at least 200000 young women were made to work in military brothels the victims came from across Southeast Asia with most from korea the japanese government issued a statement on the issue in 1993 tokyo admitted responsibility for the sexual coercion of women and apologized in 2015 japan and south korea agreed a deal under which tokyo paid more than 8000000. 00 for a victims fund but still has dissolved the fund saying the issue hasnt been settled and the victims werent consulted filmmaker assessments are in his film would violate free speach. Well i think its definitely a case of freedom of expression and i think my film if it gets silenced or taken down or you know if they prevent bigger distribution then this is another you know. Freedom of expression in japan in news and its these little tiny digs at freedom of expression that make it really hard for the media and people in general to talk about these issues and so it just becomes one of these things where the powerful people get to say what they want to say about the issue and then the people who have an opposing opinion can say anything.

We can all middle of the room 6. I. Welcome back a number of us democrats say they may start impeachment proceedings against donald trump but on the back of reports the president pressured his ukrainian counterpart to investigate possible corruption involving 2020 hopeful joe biden been very reluctant to go down the path of impeachment but if the president is essentially trying to browbeat a foreign leader into doing something illicit then that may be the only remedy by failing to act congress is complicit in trumps latest attempt to solicit foreign interference to aid him in the us elections do your constitutional duty and impeach the president at this point a bigger National Scandal isnt a president s little break in behavior it is the democratic partys refusal to impeach him for it on sunday trump denied any misconduct over discussing biden in a phone call with president vladimir. They also accuse the former Vice President of corruption tied to his sons Business Activities in ukraine the phone conversation has come to light after a whistleblower claim that trump solicited help from a foreign leader tell the reports. Youve got to give it to the democrats theyre hard working bunt especially when somethings related to the biggest pet peeve kalu said but with all attempts over the past 3 years to push trump out of the white house havent for a bit flat new rumors have put the fire back in their bellies urgent complaint about President Trump it involves ukraine troubling promise president may have made to a foreign leader years ago 1st got in office were also nervous that dont trump was some sort of sleeper agent who was going to sell america out to a foreign power behind our backs. Well Throwback Thursday the wall into multiple reports of potentially illegal activity new allegations of attempted foreign collusion the Washington Post reported that back in july trump and the newly elected wanted to ms and how did a little chat in which trump asked his ukrainian counterpart to investigate former Vice President joe biden and apparently top level whistleblower leaks that trump unethically said hed be generous with billions worth of American Military and intelligence aid if he was cooperative whistleblower is under what i can only imagine must be the most. Intense pressure sharing anything that is truly sensitive and endangers our National Security world or trouble sounds to see but then things took a slightly disappointing turn the Washington Post sort of backtracked and admitted that well actually they might have jumped the gun just to listen. One source familiar with the conscience of the phone call so that did not raise the issue of American Military and intelligence aide that the administration was at the time withholding from ukraine indicating that there may not be no explicit quid pro quo expressed in that conversation but for the desperate damns even the with of the scandal was enough reports of a reliable whistleblower complaint regarding the president S Communications with a foreign leader brings grief urgent concerns of our National Security when you have the president call him in from other countries and whistleblowers are talking about compromising who he has deemed a political enemy this is serious this is very very serious and we have to investigate it this is all in the spirit of pursuing justice and protecting the American People from shady political de
